Antica Osteria dei Camalli In La spezia

Research, excellent food and kindness

The dishes were good, well-presented, and the flavors were spot on. We enjoyed our meal; there were no complaints about the taste. The service was also very good: welcoming, professional, and pleasant throughout the meal. However, the portions were really small. We were left a little hungry, which is a shame considering the price. €70 for two people for this quantity seems excessive for what was served. Furthermore, I should add that they charge for tap water and €3 per person for cutlery. Overall, a good experience, but the quality/quantity/price ratio could be improved.

An excellent experience at a historic osteria in La Spezia. Traditional Ligurian dishes, including gluten-free options, are all carefully prepared and very flavorful. The tagliolini alla camalla, the cappon magro, and the sbira, an ancient recipe revisited, were delicious. We paired everything with a Vermentino from Cantine Boriassi, a perfect pairing. Excellent desserts, especially panera and sacripantina. Friendly service and a welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended: high quality and excellent gluten-free options.

Excellent menu, cooked with passion. Welcoming atmosphere. Congratulations!

It's a traditional Ligurian restaurant. Here, the flavors are rich and the staff is friendly. We had a great time with the whole family. Positive experience.

Excellent, friendly service. Everything was well-curated and of excellent quality. The atmosphere was quiet, even for a post-dinner chat.

Very friendly and excellent menu. A bit of cooking smell left on your clothes. Recommended!

Pure tradition and surprising discoveries: an unforgettable experience It's not often you find a restaurant capable of combining exquisite courtesy with such profound culinary offerings. Here, regional tradition isn't just a label, but an incredible research into ancient recipes, brought to the present with elegance and respect. The service was impeccable: the staff were knowledgeable, smiling, and capable of conveying their love for their region. But the real star was the food. I chose to try a dish that was completely new to me, and the sensory journey was unique: The first taste almost disoriented me: a taste I'd never experienced before, complex and profound. The second taste surprised me: the nuances began to reveal themselves, conquering my palate. The last taste? What a shame it was already gone! A rare place, where history is eaten and the hospitality makes you feel at home. Highly recommended!

Great and friendly service and overall good price/quality ratio. Ravioli with pesto were good. Snails were less than average. The dessert was simple but tasty. Overall I would not bring here my wife for what I call a great taste experience. I think it fits well the modern idea of osteria i.e. eat and drink overall well not more not less.

We ate excellent local dishes. Unfortunately, we're not from the area, but I'd love to return to try many other dishes on the menu I'd have loved to try!
